I was wondering if anyone on this form can tell me how to install Libreelec Manually like back in the day with Openelec and not with a sd card image

If so you can just download the relevant img.gz file from the LibreElec download page and use that like before. And you can manually update using the .tar files from the same page (just below the img.gz ones).
All much the same as in the old days, at least how I used to do it (and indeed still do sometimes for the updates).

A foolproof way would be to write the downloaded image to an sd card / usb stick first (with libreelec's tool / win32diskimager / USBit / rufus / whatever), then copy everything from the fat partition to pc. Format the card manually and stick the copied files back on it.
The only practical difference from an openelec manual install is that IIRC the second partition's default label is now 'Libreelec_Disk'.
